The last poll I saw with a racial breakdown was the Oct. 25th Washington Post poll that had Romney leading 60-37.

Romney cannot win with less than 60% and Obama cannot win with less than 40%.

Romney could use one percent from the undecideds for insurance. He will get two.

what a shame, jude, that wsj reporting isn't in full throttle! where is your article about the president as it relates to the lybian scandal and how he basically watched as four brave American men were slaughtered at the hands of al qaeda working for months to infiltrate the embassay. still more disturbing is the whisper of gun smuggling being at the root if the ambush; that chris stevens was meant to have been kidnapped, and exchanged for high-ranking al qaeda held by Americans, and on and on. so many dark details that have been buried by a commander in chief who is self-absorbed, hell-bent on reelection and resolute that he will avoid the scandal of lybia until after he is reelected. obama is as low as they come.

The real issue, as Michael Widlanski, former strategic affairs advisor in Israel's Ministry of Public Security states, is not just that Obama's administration reduced security in Libya despite local pleas to increase it, but that Obama is still in denial about Islamic terror threats. (NY Post, 10/20/12, p. 19). Although Obama claims credit for getting bin Laden, the problem was never merely him or even Al Qaeda.

Instead, as Mr. Widlanski states, "America and the West still face the hostile, aggressive and implacably hateful ideology of radical Islam that is now advancing, not receding" in the Middle East. Id.

Regrettably, instead of maintaining a policy that is resolute and reliable, Obama has retreated to concession and confession.

For example, he abandoned terms such as the "War on Terror" and "Islamist terror."

His administration has blacklisted top security officials and experts who talk straight about radical Islam.

He curbed many intelligence programs, like enhanced interrogation, that led to bin Laden.

Obama's people also tried to prosecute some of our very best interrogators and commandos who did our best counter-terror work. (For all the above, see M. Widlanski, NY Post, 10/20/12, p. 19).

As Charles Krauthammer adds, Obama turned away from the Green Revolution in Iran.

He returned our ambassador to Syria, while his Secretary of State called Assad, Syria's dictator, "a reformer." (C. Krauthammer, Hfd. Courant, 9/21/2002, p. A12).

He also refused to meet with the Prime Minister of Israel about Iran recently, while agreeing to meet with the Muslim Brotherhood president of Egypt. Id. This sent the worst possible message to Iran.

As a result, Obama has conveyed a policy of weakness which has emboldened our enemies.

As Krauthammer also states: "The Islamic world is convulsed with an explosion of anti-Americanism. From Tunisia to Lebanon, American schools, businesses and diplomatic facilties [have been] set ablaze...Islamists rise across North Africa....Iran repeatedly defies U.S. demands on nuclear enrichment...." (C. Krauthammer, Hfd. Courant, 9/21/2002, p. A12).

"A U.S. ambassador and three others [have been] murdered in Benghazi. The black flag of Safaism, in which al-Quida is a prominent element, [has been raised over our embassies in Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen and Sudan." Krauthammer, id.

As Michael Goodwin also states, Obama has made America less safe. (NY Post, 10/28/12, p. 9).

It is not just American facilities that have been torched. It is the interests of America itself and what we stand for that are also burning.

Bloomberg’s “Endorsement” is Revealing

“Like so many other independents, I have found the past four years (Obama Administration!) to be, in a word, disappointing,” Bloomberg added.

The mayor also delivered some biting criticism of the president’s performance in office. Mr. Obama devoted “little time and effort” to building a coalition of centrists, the mayor wrote, dooming any hope of progress on illegal guns, immigration, tax reform, job creation and deficit reduction.

“And rather than uniting the country around a message of shared sacrifice, he engaged in partisan attacks and has embraced a divisive populist agenda focused more on redistributing income than creating it,” he wrote.
-------------------------------------------

These are words from someone who is “endorsing” Obama. It is unbiased assessment; these are not words of a conservative republican. Do you still want to vote for Obama-Biden?

good for you, paul, really. congratulations on being certifiably brain dead.

Willaird probably does think he'll win Tuesday, his "trusted" advisors are paid to tell him yes, then on Wednesday they depart company and go to work for another campaign.
